Mastering the Art of Calculating Weekdays Instantly!

Ever wondered how to impress your friends by instantly telling which day of the week any date falls on? Let me take you on a journey through a surprisingly simple mental trick I discovered in a bustling New York café. 🌆 Assign numbers to days and months, add the date, and sprinkle in a clever year code. For example, Christmas 2009: December (4) + 25 + Year Code (4) = 33. Subtract the nearest multiple of 7 (28), and voilà—5 means Friday! 🎉 Leap years? Just tweak January and February’s codes. The shortcut: take the last two digits of the year, divide by 4 (ignore the remainder), add to the digits, and subtract the nearest multiple of 7. The remainder is your weekday code. Isn’t it wild how a bit of math can feel like magic? Try it, and if you spot a flaw or have a twist, let’s debate in the comments!
